After taking part in high-profile friendly matches this year, legendary striker Dennis Oliech has given his opinion on Harambee Stars ahead of the World Cup qualifiers
Former Harambee Stars captain Dennis Oliech has lauded Football Kenya Federation for setting up quality friendly games for the national team since the country’s international ban was lifted by FIFA.
The former goal-getter has asked Kenyans to be realistic and allow the national team to take it one step at a time if it is ever to stand a chance of improving massively in the years to come.
Kenya has earned a reputation of being an athletics nation considering that it is the most successful sport in the nation, but flattered to deceive in football as it has missed more Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournaments than it has participated in.

The former Harambee Stars goal-getter has revealed why football is way off becoming a sport that can contribute to economic growth in Kenya.
Oliech believes that Kenya must first prioritise becoming a mainstay at the AFCON before it can start pondering about World Cup participation.
“We have to go to the cup of nations first as quickly as possible,” Oliech said during the launch of the Youth Connect Africa Summit in Nairobi earlier this week.
“We have to start by becoming a mainstay at the cup of nations before we think about qualifying for the World Cup.”

FOOTBALL Dennis Oliech: I should be paid every month for being Harambee Stars record scorer
Kenyan sports legend Dennis Oliech's impassioned appeal sparks curiosity as the nation awaits his government's demand with bated breath.
Kenya has been placed in Group F of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers alongside Seychelles, Gabon, The Gambia, Ivory Coast and Burundi.
They will launch their campaign this November against Gabon and Seychelles away from home. Should they win, it will give them a good platform to continue their journey towards qualifying for a maiden World Cup.
Kenya will participate in very competitive matches in 2024, considering the fact that the AFCON qualifiers for the Morocco tournament in 2025 will take place next year.
